About This Adventure Destination

The view is absolutely amazing! The staff are top notch and professional. The rooms are a bit dated and a little run down, however they are clean. The pool is excellent with beautiful gardens and the apartments are very close to the beach. I have given an overall of 3 stars because they allow smoking from balconies. For a non smoker with kids it's highly unpleasant enjoying the view we paid for when your neighbours smoke keeps wafting over to your balcony and into your room.

Had an amazing stay on a top floor apartment. Views were fabulous, rooms were clean and had everything I needed. The cockys tried to break into my apartment, they chewed the flyscreen open and tried to crawl in, lol. Overall a wonderful stay, and Hamilton Island is just beautiful.

Mold found in every room of the apartment. Called the front desk and they sent someone who handed me a spray bottle of cleaner and basically said to do it myself. Worse yet the cleaner was pet spray and nothing to do with mold and didn’t work at all. Was here with my wife for our honeymoon 4 years ago and had a great time, but it seems they have gone straight downhill since then. Tried to use the gas stove, but quickly realized the hood vent directed straight back into the apartment which is pointless and vents exhaust Wifi is terrible and the TV lags about every 10 seconds. Cheap TV that is wall mounted on an obvious angle. Shower is clearly clogged with hard water and doesn’t spray properly. Probably never cleaned. “Cleaning” does not include the floor and unless you wear shoes inside your socks and feet will turn black. The only good part of this place is the location right by the beach, but certainly not worth the $400+ per night.
